Losing snow events to wild modeling misses, and coaching searches are what we do best on Rocky Top. With how Heupel closed this season, and how tough the schedule gets the next two season, the coaching search will be coming before too long.

Nam is worthless. Hrrr has it and fv3

Yep. Just got back from Sturbridge. We got around 0.25” but the wind whipped it around.

I appreciate your tracking efforts for my snow

Sounds better the other way..right? 1-4”just sounds better than a C-2”, so that’s probably why he says it like that. We know those of us in the west will get the C-1 at best, and you guys get 2”, and maybe Cape Cod can grab 3-4”. As long as you know where you stand, you can understand the KFS accumulation scale.

Yeah that’s a big jump

What's funny is there very little whining, and of anyone its (ironically) the APATT crew that ends up crashing out and crying

One of my favorite storms. Underrated. .

Definitely norther on the ens mean. I was intrigued by this window.. a little sneaky, but kind of lost interest. But maybe...

That's fine, I was just jumping in....

I'm at 14", looks about right for here too

Yes thats right, but it doesn’t mean phase 6 automatically means warm in the east. Usually when amplitude is strong, which isn’t the case now. Weak/cod 6 during -enso/-aam usually means cold in the east, but not always.

Why not just say C-2” outside the cape?

since 2003, cmon man, cant you read

It never got above freezing today at the house. Currently 21 and calm.

NAMs lose the signal for tonight

Next day? It’s a tomorrow night event

Best of luck with that. I had my 6 month today, squeezing it in before EOY.

Everything keeps ticking slowly north and west, hopefully it keeps coming this way like the last storm kept creeping north on us 24 hours out and we ended up getting 0.9" of rain instead of mostly snow and frozen precip.

.5” more than I’m used to seeing. LFG.

I have much experience backpacking in Dolly Sods over Christmas as it was an annual thing for my wife and I for quite a few years. You will likely have the entire place to yourself this time of year. You have to park at the Laneville parking lot unless you have a 4wd vehicle with snow chains (assuming there is snow which there likely is!). The state does not maintain the primary road that leads up to the sods themselves during winter so it won't be plowed. But Laneville is easily accessible. The issue there is that Laneville is at the lower end of the Red River so you have to hike all the way up the red river falls trail to get onto the sods proper. With a foot of snow on the ground this is likely more than you can do easily in one day with the short daylight we have now. However red river falls trail is very scenic with some river crossings (probably iced over now) and has tons of gorgeous rhododendron as you gain in elevation. We would generally start from Laneville and snowshoe backpack up to the top of red river falls trail and then camp wherever we could find a flat spot for the tent before dark (gets dark early in the mountains). Then the second day we would snowshoe up on the sods and camp up there the second and third nights. Then come back down the fourth day. It's really epic winter camping but not to be taken lightly when there's significant snow - expect it to be very cold and very windy.

Looks like Hancock, Frostburg, and Bittinger mesonet sites all reporting a bit of snow on the ground.

I was actually referring to KDX Ken‘s post about the warm EPS

WSW for deep creek. Driving up tomorrow morning and should get in around 12. Going to stock up on steaks and booze snd enjoy it from the hot tub. Looking like blizzard conditions right around the time the ball drops! .

Never just say ., nice job Kev . Have a nice vaca
